Q U I N N

The rest of the day was hectic. Jonah was putting up defences and trying to figure out how it was, as I helped Clarissa and Valentina.

They had written 'This is a warning' in blood. I wouldn't say I'm scared. I'm scared for Valentina. They told me I was safe. We were safe. It's a gang. Of course we're not.

Right now, I'm in my room, just wandering around since there's not much else I can do. Jonah has made sure to make today a living hell for me as he gets to do all the interesting stuff. Like I'd like to be a part of this. Why did he ask me to be in the gang in the first place then?

" Ivy, we need you downstairs," I hear Scarlett say from behind the door.

Finally.

I walk out and give Scarlet a smile. I follow her into an unexplored area of the house, and find myself in a massive meeting room. There's a table that stretches across the entire room, and there are lots of people sat on it, so me and Scarlet take a seat.

" Now, let's discuss the plan," Jonah says, at the head of the table. His voice was clear and above everyone else's.

" Elijah, you need to find out who's blood that was, and one of our spies from the Morettis has said that it was their gang, and has told me where their warehouse is, and we're going to bomb it, show them who the boss is," He says, his eyes gliding the room before landing on mine.

Ugh his blue eyes will kill me. They're too perfect.

" So from what I know, most of the gang will be out in Sicily to deal with another gang next week, so that will be our opportunity, we only have to deal with a couple of guards, so Scarlett and Zach, you two will sneak in and place the bombs in the according places, Sabrina and Jason will watch your backs from the entrance, Elijah and his team will watch the cameras, make sure to hack into them as well so they can't see it," He starts.

This goes on for quite some time. " And lastly, Ivy and I will be inside, scoping the area just in case, as the cameras may not be able to be hacked," He says.

I raise my hand. " Yes Ivy?" He says.
" Instead of Scarlet and Zach waiting until the coast is clear in the front, shouldn't everyone else create a diversion at the front so all the guards go there, and then the back will be clear very quickly, so they can enter and leave without much disturbance because of the diversion, waiting will take too long and waste time," I say.

Everyone murmurs to themselves. It makes sense...right? Diversions usually work in movies. At least the ones I watched when I was little.

" That..would make more use of time," He says.
" So yes or no?" I ask.
" Yeah...we'll create a diversion rather than take them all out," He confirms. "In the end they'll all be gone,"

Yay. I did something. I'm so proud.

Later on, we all leave the room to do our own stuff, so I decide to go train. It just so happened Jason had the same idea, so the next hour was just us training together.

" So Quinn, is it weird being called Ivy?" He asks while hitting the punching bag.
" Well, when people call me Ivy, I have this instinct to act different as well, so I'm working on trying to give some attitude too, but yeah, it is weird," I say.

" To be fair, calling you Quinn feels weird too, but it suits you better,"
" Thanks," I grin.

Later that day, I make my way to the kitchen to find Clarissa and Valentina talking. They're so cute.

" Hey Valentina, how was school?" I say, sitting on the chair next to her.
" Meh," She says, before turning to Clarissa again. " Clarissa is making cake! I'm so excited!"

" Did someone say cake?" I hear Jonah say as he walks in.

How does he manage to not smile? It's actually getting on my nerves. Like sure smirking is smiling evilly in some way, but if he actually smiled with happiness.

" Ivy, meet me in my office in 5," He says before walking off again.

Bossy idiot.

Where's his office?

" Clarissa...where's his office?" I ask.
" Oh, it's downstairs and to the right," She says, concentrating on the cake batter.
" Save me a piece!" I say before I go down the stairs.

They better save me some.

I make my way to his office, and it looks like it came out of a horror movie. It was all dimly lit, and the colours were mostly dark brown, black and dark green, which isn't bad, but the fact that it was quite dark anyway kind of put it off.

I knock and wait. " Kitten, you don't have to knock," I hear from behind the door. I can practically imagine him rolling his eyes.

I walk in and take a seat in the chair in front of his desk. " Couldn't have you just talked to me there?" I ask.
" Yes, but I'd rather talk alone,"
" Why?"
" So I can call you Kitten as much as I want,"
" You called me that in front of Scarlet,"
" Scarlet's observant, I don't mind her,"
" Then who do you mind? It's just a nickname,"

He doesn't answer that. " Anyway, tomorrow there is a gala event, and you're coming with me, the Morettis might be there as well," He says.
" Trying to turn this into a date, Mr Hendrix?" I smile innocently, using his own words.

" In your dreams Kitten," He smirks. " Besides, you need to find a dress, so I suggest you take Scarlet with you,"

True.

" See you tomorrow," I say while walking out.

Great. A party. And even worse, a fancy party. Yay.

Fun Fact: Quinn's 'fake name' was supposed to be Chloe, but I changed it in this chapter. I still keep typing Chloe instead of Ivy.
